SYMPATHETIC LETTER FROM THE PREMIER.
The following letter of sympathy was received by Archbishop Redwood on Saturday :—
Premier's Office, Wellington, July 11th, 1903. Dear Archbishop Redwood,—
At this time not only yourself and priests, but the laity of your Church, will be greatly exercised, and your heartfelt sympathy and fervent prayers will be unceasingly offered to the Almighty on behalf of his Holiness, the head of your Church.
I had the great honor and pleasure of an audience with him, and in his time of affliction my fervent hope and earnest prayer is that God may give him strength and comfort in his hour of trial.
It may be some solace to you to know that through his Excellency the Governor and Secretary of State, our sympathy has been officially extended.
It is almost hoping against hope to anticipate recovery, but as a good and faithful servant, everlasting reward will assuredly follow, and his good works will live after him and humanity benefit thereby.
Believe me, dear Archbishop, Yours very sincerely, R. J.Seddon.
